Now, this iconic rum brand doesn't exactly need an introduction, does it? Extremely budget-friendly yet effective, Old Monk has been the most adored dark rum in India since 1954. Known for its soft taste palate, comprising of vanilla, cola, spice, roasted coffee beans, and caramel flavours, Old Monk is cheap, accessible, and absolutely yummy by itself, with some water, or a soft drink mixer, all in equal measure.
